Mardelin and I have "butted heads" or disagreed on several occasion about some differences in opinions (I make no secret of not liking Yorkie Talk treated as Yorkie Terrier Club of America Talk...I don't agree with the stated opinions of many people at times and they don't agree with me but that's fine...it's life. So there's no "funny business" in my making these statements. This is the reality and truth as I see it, I've been here a little while now too.
Mardelin has her opinions of Parti breeding etc. Having said that...I have never seen Mardelin being judgmental of people other than when animal welfare was concerned-even then she's offered advice- and despite our differences of opinions on somethings it would be ludicrous for anyone not to recognize her expertise on Yorkies and concern her advice to critical, and to be taken into serious consideration. I have literally researched so much lately because I want to understand what people are talking about on here and what is best adn Mardelin more than knows what she's talking about but I'd hope she'd write a book on it at some point because her advice is quite invaluable. ( I'd hope she'd go easy on the Parti part LOL)
Mardelin,
I'm more than sure you and I will disagree again, probably many more times, but I had to say I'm personally irritated that you offer up such great advice (in Yorkie care, grooming, training, -yes breeding too- etc) as an expert and people are not only unappreciative but insulting of it.
(free advice from an expert geez that's common right-?-No it's not at all, it's something everyone should listen to and appreciate the opportunity to get IMO)
Even if you have a difference of opinion with someone I'd hope everyone could overcome that to take sound, expert advice when it is such and drop the bias or differences long enough to listen...
